Mindfulness can be practiced formally by sitting, but my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has always encouraged us to let our days be filled with mindfulness. From teeth brushing to listening, every moment can be mindful.

Each Lunar New Year, called Tết in Vietnam, the Plum Village monastic community shares practice phrases that can be printed and hung around the home as a reminder that mindfulness can be practiced at any time. This is a tradition that me and family look forward to every year. You can read more about the phrases and print your own here.
